What are the real perks of buying RE internationally?

[Joe S.]

So my question is what is the real upside if there is an upside to buying property out of the country?

I’ve seen a couple of posters that advertise directly or indirectly about different projects internationally.
I’m at a point in my life that I’m trying to buy primarily in one state now and that more local to where Live at if possible.  A couple years ago, I bought in another state as well, but that state I was familiar with because I used to live there, and the state has lower property taxes.

Are the deals really that much better out of the country or is it simply something that sounds romantic and offers bragging rights?
